Carmela Rodríguez – The Royal Photographic Society

Pioneering format halfway between book, music, and performance. It is like a DJ session, but with photography books, teaching and mixing books to create a ‘story’, inviting the public to feel and enjoy them. This classic Fiebre, was created by our colleague Bonifacio Barrio Hijosa in 2013.

We join in the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the Royal Photographic Society, visiting the collections of its library, which contains more than three thousand copies. In this third session, the person in charge of the RSF Library, Carmela Rodriguez, invites us to get to know some of the relics that have been kept on their shelves for decades. From “La Fotografía de los colores” by Ramón y Cajal (1912), through internationally renowned authors, to their own publications dedicated to the Lavapiés neighborhood. The Library remains open during the usual opening hours of the RSF headquarters and books can be consulted and withdrawn by members. For details on how to use the library, please visit the RSF website.
